Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed that includes: a grille supporting a functional accessory; a bumper beam that is located (positioned) axially inward of the grille; and a first energy absorber that is connected to the bumper beam. The first energy absorber defines a cavity that is configured to accommodate inward axial displacement of the grille resulting from a low-force impact between the vehicle and an external object to thereby inhibit damage to the functional accessory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting vehicle components based on audible commands are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the system includes a plurality of adjustable vehicle components, an audio device, and a controller. The audio device is configured to receive an audible command and generate corresponding command data. The controller is programmed to generate at least one confidence score based on the command data and (i) cause a first response to be output from the audio device after determining that the at least one confidence score does not meet a first threshold, (ii) cause a second response to be output from the audio device after determining that the at least one confidence score does not meet a second threshold, and (iii) cause an adjustment of at least one adjustable vehicle component after determining that the at least one confidence score meets the second threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes a door structure, an interior latch handle a panel and an interference member. The interior latch handle is installed to an inboard area of an inner door panel of the door structure. The interior latch handle has a housing and a release lever supported to the housing for pivotal movement. The panel is fixed to the inner door panel. The interference member is fixed to the panel and extends toward the release lever. With the door structure in a non-deformed state the interference member is spaced apart from the release lever. With the door structure in a deformed state in response to an impact event proximate a central area of the door structure, the panel can deformed and moves the interference member toward one end of the release lever preventing movement of the release lever to an door opening orientation.

Abstract: A vehicle oxygen generating system includes a heat source, a power source, a vehicle air handling assembly of a vehicle air conditioning system, an H2O source and an electrochemical oxygen producing device. The oxygen producing device is connected to the H2O source receiving H2O therefrom. The oxygen producing device uses heat from the heat source and electricity from the power source to produce H2 and O2 from H2O. The O2 produced by the oxygen producing device is directed to the vehicle air handling assembly and moved into a passenger compartment of a vehicle.
